Easter 2014

We had a nice Easter weekend here. Kyle had Friday off work, I got a much needed massage. Then Isaac painted a wooden Easter egg that afternoon. We have had our Easter books out for a couple weeks leading up to Easter and Isaac was getting pretty excited saying "Easter is coming!"

Saturday we made a Costco trip and then colored Easter eggs, he was pretty excited about coloring eggs like his books talked about. 

And he was even more of a fan of eating the "doubled eggs" I made for Easter Sunday :-)

Sunday we got up and he checked out his basket, did a quick little Easter egg hunt around the living room then we headed to church. 

They squeezed in a third service, which effected the start times.... usually we attend the 9:00 service, but when we arrived at 9 we found out it actually started at 8:30. But no biggie, we missed the singing but Isaac still got to go downstairs and play, which he loves. We ended up staying into the 10:00 service to attend the worship and just left after a few songs since we had already heard the sermon. 

That afternoon we were invited over to some friends for a wonderful afternoon of outdoor play and yummy Easter lunch. We are truly blessed to have friends that think of us during holidays as we don't have any family around and typically just lay low. It was SOOO beautiful out! Isaac ended up with his shirt off since we forgot to stick in a change of clothes. Both boys were stylin' in their Easter outfits but quickly sweat through them. 

Playing catch

They even had some eggs hidden for Isaac and our friend's niece

We came home and I put my feet up since they have been getting swollen lately. We played around the house and Isaac finally wanted to put on his bunny ears (video does not work in email)

Flash Back

Cleaning off our small camera and was double checking I had all my videos backed up before I deleted them. Came across this one, which I didn't have backed up and added it to the bunch.

Just wanted to share cuz it was so stinkin' cute! Babies sure don't last long.

ooops (Isaac's 7 month)

I just realized I never posted his seven month couch pics. For the record here it is:


I'm really slacking with this blogging business these days. I need to try and get more things posted.

8 months

Here's his 8 month couch photos, he's a growing boy! He wore shoes to church today and Kyle and I were both saying how big they made him look!  This past week he's picked up climbing stairs! And Kyle swears he tried to repeat him when he was telling him about all the green grass outside "goooon"  :-P



Still no teeth, but boy he is teething and has been for months. He LOVES food! Eats anything and everything and has the FUNNIEST poop faces now that it's nice and solid.



His other recent accomplishments have been that he can drink out of his sippy cup and out of a straw (as of today) and he is obsessed with it!



That's all we can think of for now. He is a busy boy and crawls everywhere, torments poor Harpo, and pulls up on everything. We had to move everything up on our fridge out of his reach, lol.

Phone pics

Just wanted to share some recent cute pictures from my phone. (5 months)

Bath time fun

He is too funny.

During his bath today he was trying to put as many toys as he could handle into his mouth! It was so funny.

He was sucking on the dog's foot, it was quiet entertaining. 

Isaac 5 months

I got set him up near his blocks again. But this time as soon as I sat him on the couch he couldn't take his eyes off the blocks!! I can tell it's going to be harder and harder to get him to sit still each month :-)

Twins Game - Part 2

This photo really didn't turn out. I placed him there facing us with the field in the background, but I was so excited to get a picture of him because he looked so cute in his attire that I didn't really pay attention to how the photograph was going to turn out. So please excuse the washed out background and just know that yes there is a baseball field back there :-)

And I was excited to capture him in his outfit before drool or spit-up got on it! Which right after this photo I put his bib on, which I made for this occasion! I figured all his cute little outfits get covered up by bibs, why not make a cute bib :-)

Now-a-days I feel like I have to take a picture with my 'real' camera as well as a picture with my phone to instantly upload to facebook. In all honestly I don't really use my 'real' camera as much these days. I always have my phone on  me and it's so easy to just snap a picture of him and instantly have it on facebook for friends and family to view :-) But since I did lug my camera a long I was determined to use it! lol





I realized I didn't have his cute hat on so we had to take the same picture again. And no matter how many times I straightened his hat, it ALWAYS ended up sideways from him turning his head back and forth.


and again


Here he is saying "seriously mom!?! how many of these pictures are you going to take?!" lol


Can't leave a Twins game without capturing the Cargill sign in the 8th inning!!

First Twins Game

Today Isaac attended his first Twins Game at Target Field. We picked up an umbrella stroller at Target on our way home from church this morning so we could just fold it up and put it under our seat at the game. We were all dressed in our twins attire and found a nearby ramp to park in.

It was so cute, as we were walking to the stadium we could hear Isaac squealing with joy in the stroller, he was really enjoying himself.

He took a nap shortly after we got there. I was surprised he could sleep so sound with all the noise going on.

Here are some pictures from my phone. I'll have to post the pictures from my camera later.

Day of firsts

Yesterday was a fun day of firsts!! He finally rolled over and figured out how to get that arm up and under his shoulder. He is getting so wiggly now!!

He also started blowing raspberries, it's quite funny.


And he had his first picnic. Well mommy and daddy had the food he just got to lay and look at the willow tree blow in the wind :-) such a fun way to spend our 3rd anniversary.

And one more video just for fun, here he's playing with his feet on the changing table:

Happy Easter!

We got up and went to church today and of course put Isaac in the cutest little outfit. So once we got home I got some pictures of him with his Easter basket outside in front of our only blooming tulip :-)

He was wearing his first 'real' pair of shoes:

He loves his feet

Here's his basket:

He didn't get a very good nap at church or on the way home so we couldn't get the big smiles out of him. Also in other news the past few days he's been taking 2 hour naps!!! Much different from the 30 minute cat naps we're used to. Kyle and I actually got to sneak in a nap today.

Here's his 4 month picture, it's crazy to see him grow in that same spot on the couch! This month he was noticeably bigger.

And as you can tell from this photo, he won't just sit there anymore ;-)

We also have his latest stats from his pediatrician visit:
Weight: 15lbs 13.5oz (60th %)
Height: 27 inches (97th %)

3 month photo shoot and video

Yesterday I finally got around to doing Isaac's '3 month photo shoot'. He was workin' it for the camera, such a cutie. But like most other children I photograph, I only had a short window of about 20 minutes or so :-)

Here are some:

Ever since we got this bouncy seat I've been telling him he just has to pull the banana to get the music, of course we'd pull it for him, but today he finally did it himself. Kyle and I looked at each other, then at him, and squee'd with joy! He also had his feet up playing with the hippo and elephant it was so funny!
